#2 There are over 2,500 types of mosquitoes in the world. Amazingly enough, Iceland is believed to be completely free of any mosquitoes altogether.


#3 In the UK, if you reach your 100th and 105th birthday and every year thereafter, or celebrate your diamond wedding (60th), 65th, 70th wedding anniversaries and every year thereafter, you can get a congratulatory card from the Queen.


#4 For several years, up until 2018, Sweden’s official Twitter account was given to a random citizen every week to manage.


#5 Edinburgh zoo in Scotland is home to a knighted penguin. His name is Nils Olav III (he’s the third king penguin since 1972) and he is the colonel-in-chief and a mascot of the Norwegian’s King Guard.
